We reached out to Obsidian and Pentiment director Josh Sawyer for more information on upcoming historical adventure game Pentiment!
launches into Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass in just a few days, and it promises to be an intriguingly intricate adventure in 16th century Bavaria. We reached out to Obsidian Entertainment to learn more, with director Josh Sawyer having been kind enough to answer our questions.Pentiment is a narrative-rich historical adventure game set in 16th century Bavaria. It’s in development from Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios.
It’s an interesting decision, to have Pentiment span 25 years and various generations, and we wondered how this epic scope might impact the story’s momentum. “I wanted to see what we could do with storytelling over a long period of time,” Sawyer says. “Most roleplaying games take place over a few weeks or months of time and span a large geographic area. I thought it would be interesting to have the player make choices and see how the consequences play out over generations.
Within the great scope of medieval history, Pentiment situates itself in 16th century Europe, specifically within the Bavarian Alps in the town of Tassing. “It’s an area of interest to me because I studied early modern European history in college, specifically focusing on witch-hunting in the Holy Roman Empire,” Sawyer says. “It appeals to me because it’s a transitional period full of conflict.
